It : seems odd to have a knob called portmap_enable that actually starts : something called rpcbind (not to mention violating POLA). Because we didn't want to break old people's config files. Also, the rpcbind rename was stupid and there were people at the time that had hoped it be renamed portmap since that was a bigger pola :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
